This January and February at Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church in Winchester, the Rev. Dr. Rand Peabody will present a six-sermon series titled “Pathways of Epiphany.” You won’t want to miss a single Sunday morning at Crawford during this Epiphany Season!
On January 4th, we begin with a fascinating look at the mysterious “Star of Bethlehem” that prompted the journey of the Magi. See the sermon video, HERE.
On January 11th, we will walk with the Lord upward from His baptism in the Jordan River to the rocky ground of the Mount of Temptation. And as He Himself would surely have us do, we will consider the meaning of these great events for ourselves. See a video of this sermon, HERE.
Then, on January 18th, we will travel with Jesus to his hometown of Nazareth, where He reveals himself as Messiah, only to meet near-fatal opposition. It is a fitting focus for a Sunday that heralds our national observance of the prophetic legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. See the sermon video, HERE.
On January 25th, we will walk by the Sea of Galilee, where the Lord calls upon His first disciples to take up their vibrant new vocation of being “fishers of people.” And we will encounter another stirring example of discipleship that occurred in more recent times, as well. Watch the sermon video, HERE.
Rev. Michael Reed, Executive Director of Massachusetts Interfaith Power & Light will return to Crawford on February 1 to lead us in worship and preside over Holy Communion.
Picking back up on February 8th, we will trace the footsteps of the apostle John as he follows the Master throughout his ministry on a path that led him onward to the Upper Room and the great events beyond. See the sermon video, HERE.
Finally, on February 15th, our series concludes with a trek to the summit of the Mount of Transfiguration, as we consider what our own “pathways of Epiphany” may be, leading us onward in mission, ministry, and healthy churchmanship. See Rand’s concluding sermon, HERE.
